The Aluminium Association of India (AAI) and its US counterpart, The Aluminium Association (TAA), on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding for exchange of information on effective recycling programmes in the transportation, packaging and building and construction markets.
The MoU will help increase the per person consumption of aluminium in India over the next few years, as several sectors are driving the growth. In the process, sustainability assumes paramount importance where the US can guide the Indian aluminium industry, according to KSS Murthy, honorary general secretary of AAI.
“The aluminium industries of the US and India are dedicated to promoting the benefits of the metal in three major markets —transportation, packaging and building and construction. A key benefit is aluminium sustainability and recallability. The two associations are also committed to developing and improving the end-use market demand information, and best practices," he said. The US is the fourth largest producer of aluminium and second largest consumer. In comparison, India is the eighth largest producer and fifth largest consumer.
